Suitable First Towing Car?

We two 2 420kg+ horses and float with a jeep Cherokee sport. I hate the car, but it does the job!
We also have the BMW x5, which is almost like having nothing on the back.

For my own car, I would LOVE to have a Holden, but prefer something that will actually tow. HATE fords (sorry ) mum plans on giving me the jeep, but I just don't like driving it, it's feels too top-heavy, like it's way out in proportions. BMW is sturdy and solid, defs prefer that, but that wont get handed down!!

So are there many sedans that will actually tow comfortably? I like Nissan muranos!

I appreciate a good car - didn't even consider the Ranger because I'm not sure if they could get any uglier!

I'm over the whole Ford Vs Holden debate. That's a little old! A good car is a good car. Rangers are great but I preferred the look of the Colorado and I know quite a few people who won't consider the ford because of the look alone and not the badge!

My First towing car was an old Holden Commodor VP Wagon. the only reason i got my new car was it was starting to die it had done alot of KM almost 350000 lol

After driving My Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. i would never go back to a small car to tow with. the 4wd are alot more stable on the road with the heavy weight behind.

though this was something i had to work up to and save all my pennies. so for a first car Lauren a commodor or falcon that is set up to tow your horse around will be fine.

one thing to remember is the cooling. we had to get a tow pack put onto the wagon years before as they do get hot if you dont have a tow pack. ran like a dream with it. oh and also be kind to your car, you dont know how much you need it until you dont have it. * good luck!!!!

I actually really like the look of the Ranger, so each to their own I suppose.

What colour are you getting? All that effort you put into trying to match your float with the Patrol, now your getting a new one
